12bce3f4fc net: make interface get packets from l3
Instead of l3 (arp/ipv4) pushing packets into interface's queue, make
them register functions that interface can use to ask l3 for packets.

7ac3ba901c net: rework packet forwarding logic
Instead of forward() deciding packet destination make it collect input
for RSS hash function depending on packet type. After data is collected
use toeplitz hash function to calculate packet's destination.

73f6d943e1 net: separate device initialization from queues initialization
This patch adds new class distributed_device which is responsible for
initializing HW device and it is shared between all cpus. Old device
class responsibility becomes managing rx/tx queue pair and it is local
per cpu. Each cpu have to call distributed_device::init_local_queue() to
create its own device. The logic to distribute cpus between available
queues (in case there is no enough queues for each cpu) is in the
distributed_device currently and not really implemented yet, so only one
queue or queues == cpus scenarios are supported currently, but this can
be fixed later.

The plan is to rename "distributed_device" to "device" and "device"
to "queue_pair" in later patches.

bf46f9c948 net: Change how networking devices are created
Currently each cpu creates network device as part of native networking
stack creation and all cpus create native networking stack independently,
which makes it impossible to use data initialized by one cpu in another
cpu's networking device initialization. For multiqueue devices often some
parts of an initialization have to be handled by one cpu and all other
cpus should wait for the first one before creating their network devices.
Even without multiqueue proxy devices should be created after master
device is created so that proxy device may get a pointer to the master
at creation time (existing code uses global per cpu device pointer and
assume that master device is created on cpu 0 to compensate for the lack
of ordering).

This patch makes it possible to delay native networking stack creation
until network device is created. It allows one cpu to be responsible
for creation of network devices on multiple cpus. Single queue device
initialize master device on one cpu and call other cpus with a pointer
to master device and its cpu id which are used in proxy device creation.
This removes the need for per cpu device pointer and "master on cpu 0"
assumption from the code since now master device and slave devices know
about each other and can communicate directly.

4e7d8a8506 Introduce packet classification mechanism
Classifier returns what cpu a packets should be processed on. It may
return special broadcast identifier. The patch includes classifier for
tcp, udp and arp. Arp classifier broadcasts arp reply to all cpus. Default
classifier does not forward packet.

313768654a net: remove queuing from l2->l3 rx path
Use a subscription instead.  Queueing should be implemented at the highest
possible level (e.g. tcp), to avoid double-queueing.
